QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Apr 9, 2010 -> 12:10 AM) I'm not sure if you're being facetious cecious or not. But when you lose 2 straight to the f***ing Indians with the crap pitching staff they're running out, and you can muster 8 hits in 20 innings, I'm not going to blame 2 f***ing bunts on the 2 losses. I agree with you, man. I'm just heated, right now. The bunts are a part of the bigger problem for this team. That problem is Ozzie.

What a debacle.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Apr 9, 2010 -> 12:07 AM) Thank you, Captain Obvious. When did I ever say that Beckham should have bunted? I think it's a horrible idea. But that's not why we're losing. Like I said, we have 8 hits AS A TEAM in what is now 19.1 innings. Those 2 bunts aren't the reason we're losing. I understand that we're not coming through, but you don't deny your 2nd best hitter opportunities to hit.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Apr 9, 2010 -> 12:05 AM) 8 hits in 19 innings against the Indians pitching staff. Stop. Gordon Beckham is the 2nd best hitter on this ballclub. He should not be bunting. It's not that hard to grasp.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 9, 2010 -> 12:01 AM) His managing sure is doing a great job at causing bloop singles. I think he’s a great tactician. He’s the most sabermetrically inclined manager in the game today. He got some great offense performances out of some terrible Nationals clubs too.

I'm on record before the Indians hired him as saying i wouldn't mind inf Manny Acta was our manager. Now.... i wouldn't mind if Manny Acta was our manager.

It's like TCQ is moving in slow motion in the OF.

We really might have to move Beckham to 3rd and Nix to 2nd. I think this is a worst case scenario, but it might have to happen if Teahen struggles for the next two weeks.

s***.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 8, 2010 -> 11:55 PM) To me, it was the exact same situation. Gordon Beckham isn't Mickey Mantle (yet) and Juan Pierre isn't Rickey Henderson. I suggest you look at some stats and reflect on why bunting with Lou Marson and Gordon Beckham are two very different things.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 8, 2010 -> 11:53 PM) Somebody said Manny Acta wouldn't bunt. The exact f***ing same thing. All managers bunt in that situation. Believe it. There is a profound difference between bunting with Lou Marson and bunting with Gordon Beckham.

PUTZ!!!!

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Apr 8, 2010 -> 11:49 PM) Time to fire Greg Walker Welcome to the thread. Glad you could contribute.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 8, 2010 -> 11:47 PM) The bottom of our lineup is filled with automatic outs. Good thing we get the bunts out of the way with the top half!

My god is our offense bad.

Send in Carrasco! Wait, what?

Great piece of hitting by Peralta.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 8, 2010 -> 11:35 PM) It might have been a silly call, but what manager would not have bunted there? Manny Acta.

QUOTE (bighurt4life @ Apr 8, 2010 -> 11:34 PM) your thinking is very black and white in this situation The only players on this team who should ever be bunting are Pierre, Alexei, Kotsay and AJ. Teahen's questionable.

QUOTE (zenryan @ Apr 8, 2010 -> 11:33 PM) I dont like the bunt because I'd rather see run and hit called but why is every assuming there is a 100% chance JP steals 2nd? I don't like the bunt because their are 27 outs in a ballgame and every one of them is precious.

QUOTE (bighurt4life @ Apr 8, 2010 -> 11:31 PM) that doesn't make it the wrong move, just means that it didn't work this time Nope, still the wrong move. If we're going to bunt with our second best hitter, i suggest we be prepared to lose a lot of games.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 8, 2010 -> 11:30 PM) Jones could have picked everybody up and been a hero with a single there. What's with the fly ball? Didn't he used to play in the NL? Wasn't he good, like, 5 years ago?

I think in six months i might just be tweeting, "Going to lunch in half hour, Why Ozzie no have job?"
